Pipe Piling

• Purpose and Types

What is Pipe Piling?

• A technique used to support and stabilize a
  building's foundation.
• For soil which is loosely packed, it may not
  offer enough strength to keep the building stable
  over time and hence, pipe piling is used to
  distribute the weight of the building deeper into
  the earth, where the soil is often more tightly
  packed.

• Pipe piles are also used
• to support exceptionally large or heavy
  buildings, where even standard soil cannot offer
  adequate support
• when the land area is too small to accommodate
  spread footers or foundations, forcing buildings
  to dig deeper to achieve sufficient ground
  stability

Types

• Based on building forces, soil conditions and
  local building codes there can be different
  piling methods.
• Some of the common piling types include monopile
  foundation, drilled piles, under reamed piles,
  augercast pile, micropiles, tripod piles, sheet
  piles etc.

Determining a Requirement

• Testing the soil can help determine whether piles
  are needed.
• The structural engineer can determine the size
  and material needed for each pipe piling, as well
  as the required depth.

• When a single pipe is not long enough to reach
  this depth, piles may be joined together using
  butt welds or splicing sleeves.
